This recipe configures a basic Samba file share.

Backup Existing Configuration

sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak

Create Configuration

Replace the existing configuration.

sudo tee /etc/samba/smb.conf >/dev/null <<'EOF'
[global]
   workgroup = WORKGROUP
   server string = Samba Server
   security = user
   map to guest = Bad User

[Share]
   path = /srv/samba
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes
   guest ok = no
   read only = no
   create mask = 0664
   directory mask = 0775
EOF

sudo mkdir -p /srv/samba

Configure Permissions

Replace <username> with your Linux username.

sudo chown -R <username>:<username> /srv/samba
sudo chmod -R 775 /srv/samba

Validate Configuration

testparm

Expected output:

Loaded services file OK.

Restart Samba

sudo systemctl restart smbd
sudo systemctl restart nmbd

Verify Services

systemctl status smbd --no-pager
systemctl status nmbd --no-pager

Both services should be reported as active (running).

smbclient -L localhost -U <username>

Expected output should include:

Sharename       Type
---------       ----
Share           Disk
